I haven't publishes a lot here as I didn't really do many funny
things on NetBSD here recently (or maybe I just forgot to mention
them? Seems so, as I also did a booth at 19C3, and I was in Japan, and ...). Sorry! ;)

Last weekend I was at the 5th Chemnitz Linuxtag, and here is my
report on it.

My presentation from the Linuxday
Luxembourg: ``NetBSD - An Operating System (not only) for Clusters
and Embedded Applications''. See also my other
presentation and
paper titled
``Reaching the Goal with the Regensburg Marathon-Cluster - A
NetBSD Cluster Project''. Also setup and ran a NetBSD booth.

I sent a little report to the netbsd-advocacy list, here are some
pictures:

booth I helped setup and run at the Karlsruhe LinuxTag 2002.

After doing pkgsrc bulk builds for almost three years, here's some
a graph displaying broken/unpackaged
packages over time. Note the low number of broken pkgs during
release times. :) Also, note that "broken" packages included pkgs that
have their dependencies not built upto about 1.5, which explains the
higher number of broken pkgs then.

I have reworked some old texts (Networking FAQ, and the tow IPv6/6to4
articles that can also be found on ONlamp.com) into Federico Lupi's
NetBSD guide.

Playing with xmms, I made a
(Net)BSD skin from one of the skins displaying a penguin.
I like the color scheme, but a penguin on my desktop? No.
Drop the .zip file into
~/.xmms/Skins to install.

Just in time for the 1.5.1 release, I got the share/man0 code
fixed, and I now have manpages in
PostScript and
PDF ready for download

I'm getting bored updating a bazillion link collections. Check
my publications for what I've done
in the last few weeks, including a cluster of 45 machines running
NetBSD (of course! :-), an Introduction to IPv6, and a few other
things.

Got asked by the "Linuxtag"
folks to put together a summary on BSD. Here
(and here ;).
is the result.
German

english
language available.

First public release of my NetBSD based disk cloning and
deployment system, g4u.

[20010211]

Made a 6to4 package
that helps getting IPv6 going using 6to4 automatic tunneling.

Over the last few weeks, the i386 bulk builds that I do did get down to
~10 broken packages (out of ~1800 packages altogether). I took this as a
reason to make a 2-CD-set with binary packages for 1.5/i386 available for
download. Files:
README,
i386pkg1.iso,
i386pkg2.iso.
Nice to see people's interrest in this. Even before this was announced it
got ftp.netbsd.org some 40 concurrent downloads of the images only, after
the announce it went as high as 150 concurrent
downloads when I looked; Again, of the two images only - there were
50-100 other downloads taking place at the same time. One week after the
images were uploaded, we had more than 330 downloads. Whee!

Todd pointed me at this old mail
that mentions that NetBSD is actually being used in the
International Space Station (more details on the machine are
here). The system was assembled with NetBSD 1.2.1
in 1998 and launched (literally :-) in 2000. Planned lifetime: 10 years.
Can someone give me a shell so I can check the uptime? ;-)

I have some other machines (i386, sparc, arm32, amiga) that I use
occasionally, but don't particularly care to keep alive (uptime! :).

Protocol of the NetBSD-meeting at the
3rd Amiga-Meeting in Karlsruhe (plus conclusion in german language)

Maintaining the
FTP-archive
of the NetBSD/amiga-port.
After several years of service to numerous Amiga users (and some other
users of Motorola-based NetBSD ports), this archive is now superceded
by the NetBSD Packages Collection,
although numerous handy tools can only be found in this archive.

JM's long-lost postcard indicating
early traces of NetBSD/amiga, and an even older
dmesg-output of probably the first NetBSD/amiga kernel with
ethernet support (made at the #amigager meeting in Bielefeld); I
got two DAT drives borrowed from some people there to make copies
of the sources brought. :)

(Sort of) maintaining EasyInstall,
two shell-scripts to help system-administrators maintain their software.
Next release will probably run under Solaris and also feature a
CGI-script to display a list of installed software via WWW. Click
